On the Second Day of Christmas


On the second day of Christmas, Claire and Lucy gave to me........ peeping out the window for Santa and Rudolph. Okay, really they were looking for the garbage truck. I grabbed the camera to capture this rare moment of sisterly affection.

Cousin Slumber Party

Nick and Max came over this past weekend for the girls' first slumber party. We all had a great time, baking cookies, eating popcorn, playing guitar hero, making breakfast and being wild. Some of my favorite quotes from our time together are; "Nick..... Max" (the girls know the boys' names!), "We should do this more often", "I sure am glad that you had the BOGO's", "We are so lucky to all live in the same place", and perhaps my favorite, "Aunt Laura, your house is a bigger mess than it usually is"...... ahhh, around here, that is the sign of a good time! And yes, we are definitely blessed to have such wonderful family close by.


Look what I did!

This icing is good stuff!


I think I'll sit back and enjoy my work!


I need to get a closer look, up on the table

All for me!

Sprinkles on the cookies... or right in your mouth

What goes better with cookies than milk?!
